The Concubine’s Daughter

Looking for Inner-Court and Palace-Intrigue Stories With Smart Heroines

I want something like The Story of Minglan! 1️⃣ No heroines who are constantly sneaking out in disguise as men under a feudal system, while everyone is somehow too blind to notice. 2️⃣ The villains should be smart. 3️⃣ If the heroine is lowborn, please don't have her marry a prince or emperor. That kind of thing.

Looking for Household-Intrigue Novels Where the Characters Aren’t Stupid!

1. No white-lotus female rivals who do nothing but whimper, cry to win sympathy, and get some scumbag prince or father to rush to their defense. Those insulting-to-the-reader plots are a hard no. 2. As a female-lead fan, I need the male lead to be sexually pure. 3. No lovesick female leads.
